Re: Technical Question
I haven't noticed that leaves grow bigger when they get a little shade. I
have noticed that certain plants just have bigger leaves, with most other
variables being equal. But I have misted my plants in the sun for the past
2 years. This is what saves them from burning. If I don't mist, the plants
"burn" or basically dry out. I can get away with misting all the time
because I live in a dry area. I assume those in humitidy would have a hard
time. But that would not be you. You have great weather up where you are.
A little mist during the peak of the day would be fine. And who knows,
maybe your "burnt" leaves are just due to age.
